I was speechless when I finished reading this. What spirit Nick had!!!! He went through a lot in his short life. I wish I had known him.

—Edy Peterson

I’ve read Nick’s honest, candid accounting of a portion of his life and dying process twice, as the first time through was so emotional. I’m awed by this resourceful and spiritual person, his arduous life story, and the loving ‘family’ he created.

—Jane Morgan

Fascinating. I’ve often passed by the trailer park where I picture Nick living wondering what life was like for people who lived there. I learned so much. I feel I know him, how he lived through things beyond my experience: his life and thought, overcoming adversity.

—Judy Handke

So much to learn from Nick. What stood out for me was that he asked for what he needed. This little book will go well beyond local.

—Joanne Hart

What an intriguing book. I feel I know Nick even though I don’t believe I’ve met him. You gave his words life even after his death. You’ve given his sister and his friend Sheila such a gift in being able to say what they would have liked to share while he lived. You will give others courage to share more of their true selves with the world.

—The Rev. Dr. Brenda Legred
